Then River moves in next door.

The beautiful American surfer boy is a few years older than him and is in the same class at university. There’s undeniable chemistry between the two, but can Jay work up the courage to put himself out there again? Is River even into him?

He could find love, or be disappointed and hurt once again. And even if they do hit it off, Jay’s past is lurking around the corner. And this time it could physically endanger both him and River.

Follow Jay’s coming of age story of love and overcoming the odds in Jay’s River. Featuring a supportive family, a gay main character dealing with a bully, and a love that transcends two cultures, this LGBTQ+ romance shows the importance of being true to oneself and following one’s heart.

Full of court intrigue, queer romance, and terrifying monsters—this gothic epic fantasy will appeal to fans of Samantha Shannon’s The Priory of the Orange Tree and the adult animated series Castlevania.

Remy Pendergast is many things: the only son of the Duke of Valenbonne (though his father might wish otherwise), an elite bounty hunter of rogue vampires, and an outcast among his fellow Reapers. His mother was the subject of gossip even before she eloped with a vampire, giving rise to the rumors that Remy is half-vampire himself. Though the kingdom of Aluria barely tolerates him, Remy’s father has been shaping him into a weapon to fight for the kingdom at any cost.

When a terrifying new breed of vampire is sighted outside of the city, Remy prepares to investigate alone. But then he encounters the shockingly warmhearted vampire heiress Xiaodan Song and her infuriatingly arrogant fiancé, vampire lord Zidan Malekh, who may hold the key to defeating the creatures—though he knows associating with them won’t do his reputation any favors. When he’s offered a spot alongside them to find the truth about the mutating virus Rot that’s plaguing the kingdom, Remy faces a choice.

It’s one he’s certain he’ll regret.

But as the three face dangerous hardships during their journey, Remy develops fond and complicated feelings for the couple. He begins to question what he holds true about vampires, as well as the story behind his own family legacy. As the Rot continues to spread across the kingdom, Remy must decide where his loyalties lie: with his father and the kingdom he’s been trained all his life to defend or the vampires who might just be the death of him.

It’s like the start of a bad joke: a Master of Tomes, his apprentice, and ninety world-saving records get lost at sea. Mei Li really wishes the joke wasn’t her life. For two years she’s been stranded in a remote village with no knowledge of where her master is or what’s going on in the world. What she does know is one: she refuses to be sacrificed to the “god” the villagers think live on the mountain, two: she fully plans on negotiating with said “god” (who, luckily for her, turns out to be a dragon more than happy to rescue her). Her relief over being rescued is short lived when she learns that her master is still lost, along with the tomes detailing how to reseal and fix all the upcoming problems for the next decade. And at least four world disasters are due to be prevented in the next two months. To make matters worse, the Tomes Masters are the only people in the world who carry the knowledge of how to reseal the pesky problems like five-thousand-year-old sleeping demons and disintegrating harbor walls. With her master gone, everyone is looking to Mei Li for answers she doesn’t have, but still has to procure. Her options are to solve the disasters—with high potential for the world ending—or somehow find Master and the missing tomes. Right now, Mei Li wants to go back in time and punch her six-year-old self for being an idiot. Being able to read books all day is not worth the stress of dealing with ancient, evil things on a regular basis.

Shadow Academy has many secrets… and I’m one of them.

Plucked from foster care and offered a scholarship to an elite school, I figured I had it made. It didn’t take long to discover how this school worked. Scholarship kids at the bottom of the heap, and way at the top, Ren Worthington. With his breath-taking good looks and bottomless pits of family money, you’d think he’d have better things to do than bully us poor kids.

Not so.

Ren and the other human students live their lives unaware of the creatures lurking in the dark. I wasn’t given that scholarship just for my academic skills. We’re all half-bloods and freaks - fae, witch, shifter, demon. In return for our free ride, we protect the rich brats from paranormal dangers.

When one student goes missing and Ren’s life is threatened, I get made an offer. Become Ren’s tutor/bodyguard and my future is assured. But if Ren dies or discovers what I am, I’m out of here. As if he'd discover what I am. I don't even know myself. I'm weak and powerless but they want me for the job. Who knows why?

I don’t want to get close to Ren, I don’t want to get to know him and I sure don't want to succumb to his charms, but I have no choice. And I discover, things aren’t what they seem on the surface.

Shadow Academy has many secrets… and maybe Ren is one of them.

Shadow Academy is a young adult academy series with slow burn, fated couple romance.

A wiser woman might flee the country, but Riley is determined to clear her name. Armed with a quick wit and some friends who don't mind breaking a few laws, Riley becomes an amateur vigilante. Can she stop the killer before they strike again?

Like many of us, Maggie is navigating her path through a complex world—except, her world is the stream.

Having lost her home to changes in the current, Maggie, a mayfly, is searching the stream for the richest of foods with which to nourish her brief flight in the world of air. But the stream, with its ever-changing currents, seems a confusing array of possibilities. Where are the richest of foods? How might she find them? And what are the qualities that makes one’s forage truly rich?

As Maggie travels the stream, she meets other streamlings—some malevolent, some benign—who offer her advice based on their own experiences within the stream. Through these meetings—from a midge who seeks to understand the stream by classifying the minute grains of the streambed to a water scorpion who tells Maggie her only value is as fish food—Maggie, unsure of herself, must define her own vision or risk missing the fulfillment that she seeks.

Mason Sharpe has some lethal skills. In this little town, he’s going to need them.

On a dark Alabama highway, army veteran Mason Sharpe witnesses a terrible accident. As he fights to rescue a woman from the burning vehicle he notices one of her eyes is bright blue, the other deep brown. Then, she vanishes. Gone without a trace.

When Mason describes her to local police, they’re stunned. His description matches one Delia Crawford, famed for her unusual eyes. But Delia disappeared as a child, eleven years prior. How could she possibly show up in a car accident now?

But Mason knows what he saw. His gut tells him something deeply sinister is going down, and Delia Crawford is somehow involved.

Why will none of the locals talk about Delia? Why is one mining company still turning big profits in a town crippled by the industry’s decline? And why is Mason being followed by two shady characters in a pitch black pickup truck?

Like a hunting dog on the scent, he digs deep to uncover the grim truth — and comes to the attention of some very violent men.

They want him gone, but he’s not going anywhere. Push Mason into a corner, and he’ll push right back. All the way to the End Game.

A modern take on an age-old question: When forced to choose between her family and the guy she loves, what will Maleeka do?

Sixteen-year-old Maleeka was taught from a young age that family was everything. But growing up, she knew she was different from her siblings, who excelled and followed the rules imposed by their strict and hot-tempered first-generation Syrian father. Maleeka pushed boundaries, upending the order her father tried to exert upon his household. Uninterested in becoming a doctor, lawyer or an engineer, Maleeka dreams of writing and singing—of creating her own life story and following her own moral compass. Yearning to be seen and loved just as she is, Maleeka seeks solace in Marc, a high spirited and rebellious—yet sensitive—bad boy. Swept off her feet into his heart and his arms, Maleeka feels more loved and supported by Marc than she does by her family, but she is forbidden to have anything to do with him.

Not wanting to choose between her family and Marc, Maleeka tries to have it both ways. But keeping her relationship with Marc a secret is a constant battle. When her older brother threatens to reveal her secret, Maleeka realizes she has to make a choice between the one she loves and the family she needs.

Can Maleeka and Marc find a way to stay together or will they lose the fight?

REVISED EDITION

Computer chip expert Scott Meikle offers a fresh take on a global industry and its future.

Computer chips are everywhere. The pervasiveness of the chip has thrust its development and manufacture onto the center stage of a global struggle for industrial supremacy. From the outset, the struggle has been an East-West competition.

Blending nuanced cultural and geopolitical insight The House of Making Things tells a perspective-shifting story set against the international race for dominance in chip manufacturing and technology.

Joint venture TeraSil and expat John Schmidt face a moment of reckoning. The crushing complexity and cost of leading-edge technology has pushed TeraSil’s partners to their limits. As coleader, John Schmidt must navigate through crossed objectives. But as he sits at the nexus of disputes over capital, manufacturing, and technology, he can’t stop a growing realization of who really has the upper hand in the battle for industrial might.

Author Scott Meikle draws upon decades of personal experience in an immersive narrative that brings to life the competition for success in the chip industry—and in the process, he shatters our narrowing Western perspective and delivers a broader understanding of the forces that are driving a global race for leadership in industry and science.
